"Alphabet Soup"
Why do media outlets give special reporting on a newly-elected president’s first 100 days in office? This precedent began with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. During his first 100 days in office, FDR called an emergency session of Congress to pass legislation that would address the economic difficulties during the Great Depression. New agencies--the “Alphabet Agencies”--were formed to provide relief, recovery, and reform.
Today, the Department of Education and more specifically the Special Education Department has its own “alphabet soup” of acronyms such as “IEP, IDEA, and Section 504,” just to name a few. A simple search on the internet will provide you with the meaning to terms that you may not be familiar with. The Center for Parent Information and Resources includes an exhaustive list of commonly--and maybe not-so-commonly--used terms in special education.
